~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.

Below is Monday afternoon’s testimony by Christopher Wray, FBI Director and Michael Horowitz, Department of Justice Inspector General before the U. S. Committee on the Judiciary. (See Wray and Horowitz statement at bottom of post.) Hearing begins at 09:05 of video —

The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing to review the Justice Department inspector general’s findings into whether the FBI mishandled the Hillary Clinton email probe and other matters leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

(Today’s hearing before the House Oversight & Government Reform and Judiciary Committees is airing live at this moment on C-Span3. I will post the video as soon as it becomes available.)

There are those days when I believe that the leadership of both Houses are biding their time and stalling their agenda until the day that they no longer have to work with President Donald Trump. Robert Mueller building alternate Department of Justice might have something to do with it.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch announced Monday that the Tillerson State Department is sitting on 76,000 Clinton documents and won’t release them until the year 2020. Conveniently an election year.

Judicial Watch found out about the existence of the documents during a federal court hearing in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.

According to Judicial Watch, they have yet to process 40,000 of the 72,000 pages.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wants to know why the administration elected to drain the swamp is stalling the process.

“Secretary Tillerson should be asked why his State Department is still sitting on a motherlode of Clinton emails. It is disheartening that an administration elected to ‘drain the swamp’ is stalling the release of documents to protect Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration”…

If you want proof the Democrats and their compatriots in government agencies and in the court system are at war with those on the right, you only need to follow judges’ rulings and state governments’ decisions against the travel ban, sanctuary cities, and most recently, the water rule. The California U.S. attorney is ignoring the new executive order repealing the EPA water rule. He’s rejecting the authority of the new leadership in the EPA under Scott Pruitt.

The Democrats are completely lawless and have abandoned the constitution – the rule of law – so they can have full control. Daniel Greenfield’s article, Wednesday, The New Civil War, capsulizes our situation perfectly:

“A civil war has begun.

This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule. Political conflicts become civil wars when one side refuses to accept the existing authority. The left has rejected all forms of authority that it doesn’t control.”

They simply say, Trump is not the rightful president.

When the former president was in office, the federal government made all the decisions but now that Donald Trump is in office, the states are to make the decisions with California in the lead. The case most exemplative is that of the U.S. attorney and the state of California against Greka Oil & Gas[…]
